1. Alive by P.O.D.

Favorite Lyrics

I feel so alive for the very first time
I can’t deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time 
And I think I can fly

2. No Plan B by Manafest

Favorite Lyrics

It's too late It's my fate
I can't turn around
There's no fear, in the mirror
To hold me down
I'm too far, from the start
Now I'm in too deep

I've got to stick to the plan
Cause there's "no Plan B"

3. Battle Song by Lecrae

Favorite Lyrics

Tell 'em bring their guns out
Send my city up in flames
And yea though I walk through the valley of the dead 
But my hope still remains
Whether dead or alive, this is do or die
When Christ is the gain
So raise your torches up high
Tonight we fight for our King

4. We Won’t Give Up by the Afters

Favorite Lyrics

We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way

We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up

5. Move by Mercy Me

Favorite Lyrics

I'm not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I won't stop, I'll keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but I won't break
As long as I can see your face

6. Follow Me There by Third Day

Favorite Lyrics

Where love, like a river, flows
Peace like you've never known
And joy never ending lives
A place where faith can find
Hope that will never die
Follow me there, come on, follow me there

7. God’s Great Dance Floor by Chris Tomlin

Favorite Lyrics

I feel alive, I come alive
I am alive on God's great dance floor
I feel alive, I come alive
I am alive on God's great dance floor
I feel alive, I come alive
I am alive on God's great dance floor
I feel alive, I come alive
I am alive on God's great dance floor
I feel alive, I come alive
I am alive on God's great dance floor
God's great dance floor!

8. Stronger by Mandisa

Favorite Lyrics

Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares

9. I Refuse by Josh Wilson

Favorite Lyrics

But I refuse
cause I don't wanna live like I don't care
I don't wanna say another empty prayer
Oh I refuse, to sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh I could choose not to move

10. Strong Tower by Kutless

Favorite Lyrics

You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

I am a Christian writer and editor that lives in northern Michigan and thoroughly enjoy music, movies, TV shows, books and other entertainment with a Christian focus. My favorite song is "Oceans" by Hillsong United because it reminds me that has big plans for me and everyone else who puts their trust in Him. There are many movies that have impacted my life, but a few include God's Not Dead, The Shunning and Letters to God. I also write for www.faithandentertainment.com and love connecting with readers, so please don't hesitate to contact me! When I'm not writing I enjoy watching movies and laughing with my busy toddler and husband.
